A bit of a retelling of Hansel and Gretel.
Felt like a 1970's drive in movie.

Game of Thrones Season 1 & 2
How many puns can be made out of snow?
I watched part of season one when it first aired, but lost track of the characters and couldn't keep up with the intrigues. I started watching it again last month and I'm hooked on Peter Dinklage.

sleep no more
Adult haunted house as a teaser for a fabulous restaurant.
Sleep No More is an interactive play going on in NYC. They've converted a few warehouses into a giant 6 story set with a flapper era/speakeasy theme, two bars and a restaurant. The set decoration and costumes are fabulous, the music is disturbing and haunting, and it is loosely based on Macbeth.
I was caught up in exploring the sets. I should have followed the actors for I missed the ending of the show. The sets were amazingly well-appointed and each room was creepier than the next. There was a "safe" room, the Speakeasy itself, where one could sit and listen to a fantastic band and singer while drinking cocktails and taking off the mask they made you wear in the stage area.
After the play, the hostess managed to squeeze me into a table at the restaurant. The food is amazing and worth it. I suggest reservations be made as they are packed when the play ends.

Blood Clan (Rabies or "Kalevet")
Their makeup artists aren't afraid of bone fragments.
Fear.net offering.
Israeli horror flick. Subtitles. Some krav maga. All the women have blue eyes...

Chained
D'onofrio's Men in Black character drives a cab as cover for his secret life.
So, he and the director wanted to call this movie "Rabbit" which would have been a much better title. It built up and up and up and then it just stops. They ran out of money. So I was all into it being an 8 out of 10, but then it was a 6. Bummer. It coulda been a contender.

Byzantium
Secret vampire society, no girls allowed.
Retelling, can walk in daylight, no sparkles, everyone out to get them, etc.
Lovely costumes during the back story bits, bleak scenery of winter in the English seaside, love, loss, greed, redemption. I thought the ending a little too pat, as though they had an alternate but those crazy Americans in the test audience wanted a happy finish. Saoirse Ronin was amazing as usual. And I could watch Gemma Arterton in anything.

True Bloodsuckers
Typical syfy fare. Bonus fake Brits and Aussies tossed it to make the vampires seem "older".
